I think that the military posting these obscure messages about lack of appropriations and limited updates IS the communications blackout/rigging for red.
Q actually said in post 2615 that: "Reports of 'power grid' attacks (6 mo prep) should be disregarded. While attacks do occur, we are safeguarded by a 'Black Eye'."
I take that to mean that the entire communications grid for basic things like email/text is not going to go down either.
Remember the entire point of this is to minimize damage as much as possible.
All the public platforms the military uses to communicate are going silent.
That IS the communications blackout.
That IS rigging for red - what submarines do when they want to move silently and remain undetected.
Interesting take from AI:
Likeliest Meaning in Context of “Protected by a Black Eye”
If this is within a sci-fi / Military / high-tech context, “protected by a Black Eye” probably means:
You are guarded by an advanced, covert surveillance and defense system that can see threats others can’t and counter them discreetly.
Think of it like a dark AI guardian or satellite eye in the sky.
There has been talks and photos before in the UFOlogy community, of a “Black Knight” guardian in orbit… some believed it to be of UFO origin, some believe it is military controlled.
I also find it very interesting it mentioned AI guardian…. A previous Q drop referenced “ just wait until you find out who you are talking to”, meaning who Q really is…. I have always believed Q, to some degree, is Military Grade Artificial intelligence… .not every post, but some of them. So I agree with OP… I think many safeguards are in place that will completely thwart the DS from anything they try and pull.
I've always thought the Q posts were the dominos this AI knew needed to be tipped over to topple the Cabal/Syndicate. By posting what, where, and when it did, it set things in motion that couldn't be stopped. Like Dr. Strange in Infinity Wars looking through every possible future outcome.
As Q said a couple times, "Military precision or something else?"
Elon got a black eye before he departed the White House. Maybe space X gonna assist
